It just so happens that Iran has all of this enriched uranium around. I wonder what happens when one goes off like a firecracker above one of the larger Jewish neighborhood. Not a nuke, but a bunch of radioactive material.
“Not a nuke, but a bunch of radioactive material.”
I can picture Iran giving material to its proxies so the proxies can attack. Iran would attempt to maintain plausible deniability, which would be aided by American denials. But it’s not a good idea from the Iranian perspective to hit with any less than an overwhelming force. The scary part is that Mutual Assured Destruction would not deter people who regularly dress themselves and their children in suicide suits. The former president, Ahmadinejad, began and ended every speech with a prayer for the return of the Mahdi. That’s the equivalent of praying for the apocalypse.
